Hmmmm.....maybe I'm not thinking this through corectly, but if the bullets are hitting higher...then doesnt' that mean that they are flying FLATTER?

Which would also indicate that they indeed have a higher BC? Perhaps all that is printed by bullet manufacutes isn't ture???

Doesn't it stand to reason, that if a bullet doesn't need as much "come-up" that that same bullet is flying flatter? Makes sense?

And for a previous answer, the 175 I was talking about was the Sierra Match King 7mm 175 grn.

littletoes,

That makes sense to me.  I was just asking if people had used those ballistic calculators and then went out and matched them up with in the field shooting.  I really didn't have time to shoot the sciroccos or the A-frames as much as I like before the season, so I'm sticking with the 160 gr partitions.  I've shot a bunch, they shoot great in my gun, and at this point of the year if I have time off, I'm in the woods and not at the range.  Playing with those new rounds will give something to do in the spring, though!

Fully agree, too late for any load testing for this year, time to be hunting! ;)

Hope you have some great luck, and me too.
